A year after organisers introduced a quota, more than 80% of those gathered at a meeting for the global power elite are men.

A year after imposing a quota on the biggest companies to<br>encourage more women to attend, the image still fits the gender<br>profile of more than 80% of delegates.</p><p>Despite the quota, just 17% of those gathered from the world's business and political elites are women. This is the highest yet in the 40 odd years of the event, up from 16% in 2011 – and just 9% in 2002.
